Obverse of the 50 Krooni bill
Reverse of the 50 Krooni bill

The Estonian 50 Krooni bill (50 EEK) is a denomination of the Estonian currency [1]. Rudolf Tobias, who was a famous Estonian composer (1873-1918), is featured with an engraved portrait on the front side of the bill. The 50 Krooni bill is called sometimes a "Ruudi or Rudolf".

The vignette on the back shows the Estonia Opera House in Tallinn is featured on the reverse side of the bill. The first and only so far money printing for the 50 Krooni banknote took place in 1994. A small much smaller amount of the 50 Krooni bill notes were ordered by the Bank of Estonia in comparison with the other banknotes. Although it is a medium size banknote, it is still one of the most rarely used denomination by Estonians on an everyday basis.
